Windows 7 Very Slow To Start AND To Shutdown?
Oct 2, 2012I went to restart after installing updates, and system was very slow to shut down, and very slow to start. I did run house call, and came up clean, also ran this one you download, but I can't find the shortcut to it, it was about 100 MB, the name was Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, but came up clean as well.I did not time the shutdown yet, but did time the start up. If it matters it was broken down like this. It said "press escape for start up screen" for 40 seconds. Then "starting Windows" for 3 minuets.Then it said "welcome" for 40 seconds, Then a Black screen for 3 minuets. Then I got my desktop and start up sound. I was reading on line, where after a up date, something sometimes gets changed in the registry, where you have to change the Value from "1" back to "0" But that was OK. It was already at "0".I am trying to find the name of it, but of course I can not right now. Think it was "clear page file "I just now went to msconfig and the only thing new that was added was McAfee to start up, but I took it out of start up. I also have it disabled in my add ons (Firefox).Don't know if that could have been an issue, have not tried to shut down/restart yet. I have not installed any new hardware. I did put new batteries in my wireless mouse, that I don't use often. I am going to try and run CC cleaner next I guess.

View 4 Replies View RelatedTrying To Debug Slow Shutdown
Aug 11, 2011I'm trying to debug a slow shutdown on my laptop with an SSD.I've done the msconfig to so non-microsoft services and other startups do not start at boot but this doesn't make a big difference.One thing is that although the shutdown takes 2 minutes, and the disk activity light is pinned solid in those 2 minutes, so something is going on, I can't seem to figure out how to get information about what is going on. The big problem is that 7 seconds after the shutdown command, the event log service shuts down. After that point there are no log entries.Is there a way to configure the event log service so that it doesn't stop right after the shutdown command?If there were log entries this would probably be quick debugging.Also while I am at it, here are my theories for what is going on (1) the disk is busy in those 2 minutes doing some sort of registry backup, or (2) also running through a journaling file system log to update disk blocks to a consistent state, or (3) or running the search indexer.What does Windows 7 do to the disks when it is shutting down?

Jan 15, 2013Occasionally shutting down my computer may take thirty seconds longer than normal(which is 10 seconds). All the peripherals shut down, but the computer keeps "shutting down" for 30 more seconds. Normally peripherals shut down just a second or two before the computer itself shuts down, but here the shutdown is just really delayed.

Sep 18, 2011I have recently started experiencing abnormally slow shutdowns (it will go to the windows login screen with the shutting down message and hang there for about ~5 minutes), and random freezes on my PC. The freezes happen from things as small as moving the mouse. I run a weekly virus scan, and have come up with no viruses, though it could be something not detected by my antivirus.
The PC is less then 2 years old.

Slow System Hdd Performance After A Unexpected Shutdown
Mar 5, 2012This is something I have seen occur multiple times in 17 years of using windows, after a unexpected shutdown windows i/o performance slows right down and I still dont have the answer to it.
Today I accidently cut the power to my pc, so windows didnt crash it just lost power.
Windows took about twice as long to boot. After it had booted the system hdd was very busy doing I dont know why (wasnt superfetch or virus scanning). The i/o was used by the system process. Outlook took a looooong time to open. it then also took a very long time to close deleting the deleted emails which are usually way faster. Internet explorer took about 2 minutes to restore crashed tabs which was massive disk i/o. Opening tiny apps where the hdd light either flashes very briefly or doesnt come on at all have a noticeable 1-2 sec delay with the light on solid.
I expect after a manual defrag things will be back to normal. Dos all the prefetch data get trashed on a unexpected shutdown or something?

Slow Startup / Shutdown - No Auto Refresh And Update Hangs
Oct 3, 2010I just installed a retail copy of win 7 on my laptop and have been experiencing some issues. At first everything worked fine but out of the blue my desktop/folders have not been auto-refreshing. Whenever I try to delete or create a new folder I have to manually refresh to the folder in order to view it. When shutting down my laptop it takes 5+ minutes and when my desktop is loading after booting up the laptop it takes several minutes for everything to load and for the win 7 chime.
Finally, it won't allow me to update. When I try to use the windows updater it hangs for a while on "creating restoring point" (which may be normal) but then permanently hangs on installing update 1/16 at 0%. If I try canceling the update nothing happens and even when I try to shut down the laptop it attempts to install the updates but hangs on update 1/16.
From researching these issues I've realized that the auto-refresh problem is not uncommon and has something to do with a network. This may be unrelated but these problems only started to occur when I was transferring pictures via a USB stick.
Cannot Shutdown Also Long Start Up When Booting
Jul 6, 2011- Running windows 7 home premium
- Latest windows 7 updates
Some extra information - when my wireless signal for the wireless keyboard goes out (randomly), the usb port (usb extension) stops working for that port, however if you take it out and replug, still doesn't work.
only way to "fix" this is by force restarting by turning it off with the power button (I can't even shutdown because it hangs there anyways).
I'm not sure what it could be, whether its new windows update, or new applications I installed (well, I don't really install many new apps, and i have roughly the same things I did when I first got my laptop). Its literally impossible to shutdown it successfully (well i never decide to wait ages, but if the laptop doesn't shut down in a few mins, something has to be wrong) - same applies to the restart, both doesn't work unless I force it with the power button.
Here's an example below:
Windows has shutdown:
Shutdown Duration : 19478ms
IsDegradation : false
Incident Time (UTC) : 05T16:35:07.937364300Z
Some of the applications I use are trivial (like trillian, skype, steam, etc) and i've had all these programs before and it was fine, able to shut down and so on.

Jul 22, 2011Lately, Iv'e been a bit curious as to why my Start Menu keeps popping up for no reason. If I click on a certain button, to stop IE for instance, start menu comes up, and I can only get rid of it by clicking on the start menu button. OR, I have a program called Deskwin, It changes the desktop to make it looks as if there is no programs, or certain programs running at a time when you press a key or click on a certain window. It is handy to stop a cluttered taskbar. When I press my key (`), It will sometimes open the start menu!Occasionally, I can only open the start menu by pressing the button on the keyboard.AND most days, The computer won't shut down when I click on the shut down button, So I have been hibernating it.Oh, and I use Safari. It has been REALLY slow to boot up lately.I am worried that I have a virus, But everything comes up clear as crystal, except I have an infection Avira calls APPL/KillApp.A in the HP/Bin folder. I have been Ignoring this, but should I be?

Computer Wont Shutdown And Uses 1 Hour To Start Up
Aug 8, 2012My computer wont shut down. It freezes at the "Shutting down" screen. Sometimes it helps to unplug all the cables except screen and power, but mostly it has no effect. It uses about 1 hour to start. It has been like this for a couple of weeks, after I tried different software to record audio from my browser. Maybe its a driver problem? This is the second "period" with problems after i tried this, it has had one period where everything worked fine in the meantime, so I thought the problem was solved. But when it went to sleep mode today it wouldnt wake up, and the problems started again after I had to push reset button. Most of the 1 hour it says "Starting Windows". I have uninstalled all of the audio recording software. Before I did that, the computer made a subtle buzz sound every few seconds when I played games.
View 3 Replies View RelatedStart And Shutdown Computer Automatically Several Times Per Day?
Jan 17, 2013What I need to do is turn on a Windows 7 computer every hour for about five minutes and then turn it off again automatically; while the computer is on I have to run a macro. The cycle described before has to be repeated 24 hours, so, the computer is automatically turned on, it automatically runs the macro and when the macro ends, it goes off again 24 times per day. When I say �turn off� I mean, either turn off the computer or send it to a low energy consumption state like hibernation or sleep� Basically I know how to automatically turn off the computer and turn it on once per day using the BIOS setup, but I don�t know how to do this several times in a day automatically and then call the macro every time�
View 1 Replies View RelatedBlue Screen On Start Up Then Shutdown - Sometimes Restarts Automatically
May 1, 2011Yesterday I got this virus, I went and bought trend micro titanium and cleaned it up (was using a free30 day trial of something else) but I'm still having a problem. Whenever I go to shut down or restart my computer, it starts doing it like normal, but right at the end I get this blue screen with a bunch of messages written, it last about 5 seconds while a countdown happens at the bottom of the screen, then it restarts (even if I went Shutdown).
Sometimes minutes after I log back into the user, the blue screen comes up out of nowhere, does it's 5 second odd countdown and restarts. I should get minidump files. The countdown at the bottom of the blue screen is called "crash dump" or something like that. With the virus whenever I tried to open an internet explorer or google chrome window, all that would come up was "win 7 home security", I'm not getting that anymore though after doing the full scan with trend.
Additional info: I have windows 7, my pc is a HP Pavilion laptop, model number is DV6 - 2144TX
Windows 7 Won't Start - Caused By Forced Shutdown With I / O Error
Nov 19, 2012I was transferring about 150gb of files into my external hard drive, and left it alone as I went on with my day. I came home to an error, I should've paid more attention but it said something about an I/O error, and the files stopped transferring (or seemed to have stopped). Everything was really slow, I couldn't even open task manager (It actually opened up a long while after I hit ctrl+shift+esc) I couldn't close any of my programs (I have visual paradigm, which took about 400k of memory, skype [70k], chrome [200k], and some other stuff.
I noticed svchost was 150k, but i don't know what that means. I finally closed all processes except for the file transfer screen, which said it was transferring but no numbers were changing. I hit cancel, waited. Could not safely remove hardware, it would not load the options. After about a half hour I gave up and force shut down my computer by holding the power button. I tried turning it back on immediately, with the external harddrive still attached. It froze at the windows start up screen, where it said Windows is Starting...
But there was no swirly balls moving around if you know what I mean, it just had the text. Tried restarting again, same thing. Tried restarting and opening ubuntu, and it froze at the purple screen. Tried restarting again with the harddrive recovery, and it froze at a black screen, but I could still see my mouse and move it around. Restarted it again and now it brings up some text with PXE, media not plugged in insert a device and hit a key, something like that. I'm afraid of turning it on again, so I'm leaving it off for a while.
The Application Was Unable To Start Correctly (0xc0000142), Occurs During Shutdown
Aug 16, 2011I have a problem that occurs only during shut down only. When I select Shut Down I soon get a pop up that says....the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) Click OK to close the application. the label on the window is cmd.exe. Whether I click on the window or not, the shut down proceeds and eventually after say 30 seconds the alert disapears and the laptop shuts down. clicking on the alert simply brings up another alert. All this only occurs during shut down only. Also, I have no problem running cmd.exe during normal operation, or any other program run from the command window. I have read a number of posts but do not see anything exactly like this, that is happening during shut down.
